Marco brought $25 to a facility that has indoor batting cages. He can buy 1 token for $1.25, which will give him 15 pitches. He needs to have at least $5 leftover to buy lunch. How many tokens, t, can Marco buy and still have enough money for lunch?

First what I did was take out the 5 dollars. So I did 25 minus 5.

25 - 5 = 20

Next, I divide the left over 20 dollars by 1.25 to see how many tokens Marco could buy.

20 / 1.25 = 16

Which i came up with 16. So Marco can buy 16 tokens and still have enough money to use to buy lunch.

HOPE THIS HELPS! :)
